'Xmas and New Year's were awful': Michelle Mone returns to Twitter after five day 'break' following marriage split

Michelle Mone announced she was taking a break from Twitter following the breakdown of her marriage.
But it appears the lingerie tycoon couldn't stay away for long and broke her self-imposed Twitter ban five days later.
The Scottish entrepreneur, 40, revealed her 19 year marriage to Michael Mone had broken down last week.

Forget Kelly Brook and Sarah Harding... Ultimo's Michelle Mone hires herself as an underwear model after losing SIX STONE

She vowed to pose in a sexy lingerie shoot when she had reached her target weight of 11 stone.
And now Ultimo boss Michelle Mone has kept her promise, by stripping off for a new shoot after losing a staggering six stone in the space of three years.
The 38-year-old is following in the footsteps of Kelly Brook, Sarah Harding and Penny Lancaster by posing in her Ultimo range, and said she is thrilled to be able to show off her new slimline figure.

She said: 'I spent ten years trapped in a body I hated, now I love the new me and I'm happy to show it off.

'For years I tortured myself about my weight. I was miserable, I hated myself. How I look today is the result of three years of hard work, and I want to end that on a high note and put all my insecurities behind me. It's the end of a chapter and I won’t be doing anything like this ever again.'

And Michelle, who went from a size 20 to a size 10 after using herbal appetite suppressants, credits former Spice Girls star Mel B for helping her find the courage to fulfil her dream.

Michelle Mone shows off her slim figure after losing an incredible SIX STONE

Posing in a series of figure-hugging dresses, Michelle Mone seems delighted to show off her trim new physique.
Now looking almost as slender as the glamorous models she employs, the bra tycoon boasts she has lost an incredible six stone.
Naturally, however, the newly slim-line millionaireness is not simply flaunting her weight-loss just for the sake it.

Ever the businesswoman, the 37-year-old has released these photos as a way of promoting her latest money-making venture.
The entrepreneur, who received an OBE for services to lingerie in the recent New Year Honours List, is launching a new range of slimming pills.

And even though an earlier brand of her tablets was condemned as useless by nutritionists, Mrs Mone is touting herself as the best example of what they can achieve.
A few years ago when her business was in trouble and her marriage was under pressure, she ballooned to a size 22 and weighed almost 18 stone.
Now, with her underwear empire back on track, she is a shadow of her former self - a size 12 who weighs just 11 stone.
